Deefense Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Here's the latest aerial shot of the stadium. As you can see it looks to be retractable, but in fact it's not. It does rain alot here, as you can see water on the field here. It is also known to be full of sh** by gametime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOVA2Tampa Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yup...rainy and windy...just the kind of weather I was hoping for...that gives the advantage to the team with the better running game, which is...well, you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 They have rain almost every day, however it doesn't last long. The DC area gets more rain on an annual basis then Seattle and Alaska gets four times as much rain then Seattle. Hence, the rain card is over played in Seattle.

The DC area gets more rain on an annual basis then Seattle and Alaska gets four times as much rain then Seattle. Hence, the rain card is over played in Seattle. Only because they have like 2 months were it doesn't rain at all. Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb their avg rain fall is more then twice the amount in DC.

Ghost of Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 You know what's funny is that before I moved a friend I had there told me about that whole rain stereotype being overblown. As soon as we had completed the move to Seattle, all it did for like 2 weeks was rain (this was in August, which is typically quite dry and was basically every year but the one I moved.) I actually REALLY love the rain and especially the rain of the Northwest: 1) The rain is usually a drizzle and never stops you from doing too much. In the winter it can be heavier and no, I don't like riding the bus a lot when it rains but if you have a car and can use it, it's not the worst thing in the world 2) No feeling in the world quite captures what it's like to be near a window when it's raining. The best is to feel 'cocooned' in your car as the rain hits. Or reading a book while the rain hits the window pane of your apartment/house. 3) No thunder and lightning or very rarely. This means you can be outside in the weather with no fear of getting hit by lightning or of your power going out. Living in the Upper Midwest as I do, I can say the summer weather can be terrifying. Lightning, intense winds, thunder the occasional tornado alert (though they don't hit here in IC much other than last year lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SearchHorizon Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 As you saw in the Skins last game against Dallas, a football becomes slippery in rain. Todd Collins was having trouble throwing ... Matt Hasselback should have an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfMan Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 It's funny about hearing my whole life about all the rain in Seattle... I went there on business a few years ago for 2 weeks.... it was clear and sunny (70F) the whole 2 weeks (I got sun burn walking around...). Nobody believed me when I got back that I had been to Seattle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70Chip44 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 - I believe that this has to benefit us much more because of our running game and it should hurt their passing game....thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan1311 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 ....signing in the rain shouldn't be that difficult because the plays are called directly into the QB's headset. :secret: you may want to edit the thread title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pez Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Actually that was my first thought but after further review.....They practice in a bubble. :doh: Pansies! I think that is one of the things that benefits this team late in this season. Our boys practice outside in rain, sleet, snow, whatever.... we are used to the elements.
